Evelyn Lozada has sent a cease and desist letter to her ex-husband Chad Johnson.

The message was in response to a series of tweets the football star made on Thursday claiming that his former wife had committed adultery during their brief marriage.

According to TMZ, the warning was sent by Evelyn's attorney the same day as the remarks were made, asking Chad to stop harassing her online.

Sources close to Evelyn told the gossip website that the 35-year-old social media sensation's Twitter allegations were completely untrue.

The source claimed that the 37-year-old Basketball Wives star did not cheat on her spouse while they were in a relationship.

And if Chad did not stop making these false allegations she would be forced to get a restraining order.

The tweets grabbed by TMZ before they were removed from Chad's Twitter feed made quite a few claims in his trademark off-color language.

The first online attack said: '@danikabagency Let's talk about the late night text messages and sneaking around she was doing while we together smashing CERTAIN people!!'

The following tweet expressed more than a little bitterness: '@danikabagency [...] you and your PR campaign to keep them 15 minutes alive... she better hope that YMCMB [...] keep her straight 4 life.'

YMCMB is an acronym for 'Young Money Cash Money Billionaires.'

The former couple's marriage lasted a mere 41 days and ended in August last year with Chad's arrest for allegedly head-butting Evelyn during a marital dispute.

The prosecutor's office overseeing Chad's criminal domestic violence case is reportedly monitoring the Twitter feud and is said to be concerned.

The former Miami Dolphin has a court date on Monday to negotiate an early termination of his court ordered probation after assaulting his wife.
